Meet the zombie trade agreement--called the Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP). It stalks the halls of Congress at night, threatening jobs, destroying our ability to protect consumers and workers. Every time we kill it, corporate America finds a way to zap it back to life.
Now it threatens to help install Donald Trump in the Oval Office.
Hillary Clinton and Bernie Sanders both want to kill it. It should be dead and buried. But President Obama wants to dig it up and pass it in a lame duck session of Congress - after the election.
The American people don’t want it. And Trump has won the GOP nomination by attacking it.
But President Obama still insists he will pass this monster in a lameduck session afterthe election. And unless we can stop him he is handing a club to Trump to bash the Democratic nominee. Here’s how he is doing it. Here’s what he’s telling voters:
Hillary Clinton claims she’s against TPP -- but her president has a not-so-secret plan to pass the TPP immediately after the election. The only way to kill the TPP is to vote for Trump.
Democrats can’t let President Obama hand Donald Trump this weapon against them.
If Dems want to win the White House, we need to get the President to give up on TPP.

Future is the strategy center for the progressive movement. Our goal is to forge the enduring progressive majority needed to realize the America of shared prosperity and equal opportunity that our country was meant to be.
VVVVVVV VVVVVVV We've seen Ted Cruz's type before. He's dangerous and needs to be answered. We're proud to stand with members of Congress like Bernie Sanders and Elizabeth Warren. |
